Liz is the founder of My Subscription Addiction. She’s been hooked on subscription boxes since 2011 thanks to Birchbox, and she now subscribes to over 100 boxes. Her favorites include POPSUGAR Must Have, FabFitFun, and any box that features natural beauty products!

Do ya’ll think there will be a deal or gift with popping up on this box? Is there ever a discount on it? I will wait until Feb 1st when my budget rolls over but want to make sure I don’t miss out on the best deal 🌺

For some reason my comment doesn’t seem to be showing. I am wondering if someone could help me out . I signed up for the seasonal Margot Elena box for the winter box and assumed I would get a box every season but I have not been billed for this spring box and I can’t seem to find where I can get into my account. Do I need to sign up again?

I have a question if someone can help me out lol I signed up for the seasonal subscription for Margot Elena box for the winter box. I assumed I would get a box every season after I signed up but I haven’t been charged for this spring box yet. I am also having a hard time trying to find where I can get into my account. Do I need to sign up again?

Orange Blossom and Honey Face Mask, sounds really great! I love my Subscription to The Margot Elena Discovery Box!! Always so happy to see it !! Her fragrances are deliciously addictive! Excited for the Spring Box!

I’ve been super tempted to try this box. I am such a sucker for bath and body and pretty packaging… And I just got an email from PopSugar reminding me of my upcoming Spring Box payment …Ugh! All these first world problems…
I’ll wait for one more spoiler before I commit.

While the skincare/bath/body products are always beautifully packaged….I don’t find them high quality. I find them hit or miss…very drying in several cases (the hand creams and bubble baths).
I’ve just summed up the bath and body products and smells great, presents well. I utilize other subs for skincare. I have anti-aging concerns and tend towards proven ingredients that are clinically tested or contain specific properties.

So looks and smell…ME is great! I have several annual subs; as long as they keep including lifestyle items, I will continue.

Just to clarify- while this mask does have Cetyl Alcohol and Cetearyl Alcohol, those are fatty acid alcohols that do not dry the skin. I recommend looking at the Paula’s choice ingredient dictionary for more information.

I never “shamed” anyone, It’s a harmful ingredient that I don’t think anyone should use on their face, simple as that. Not only because it doesn’t really need to be there, but there is no way of telling what it actually is, every “fragrance” is different and made up of many different things, companies use the term fragrance as a blanket statement ingredient and it covers up all the harmful little ingredients that make up that one “fragrance”.

I never “shamed” anyone, I stated that an ingredient is harmful and i don’t think anybody should put it on their face, that’s not “shaming”. It’s making a simple statement. And I unfortunately don’t see anywhere that states they are natural extracts.

The extract ingredients used: Ginseng Extract, Orange Extract, Pomegranate Extract, Blueberry Seed, Honey – play a role in treating your skin. Orange/Pomegranate are acidic (acts as peeling/astringent agents), Blueberry has anti-oxidants, Honey is anti-bacterial, etc. – If you read the blurb in the link to the product, you see that the ingredients play a role in the treatment (they are not just to ‘scent’ the product).

Not totally related to fragrance, but I have to say that “natural” skincare ingredients are not better for your skin. Poison ivy, for instance, is natural but you’re a million times better putting petroleum jelly on your body. Synthetic ingredients cause fewer reactions and furthermore they are more consistent across production lines. (As opposed to plants which will vary depending on soil conditions, weather, what kind of bees them, etc.). Plus very few “natural” products these days have any science to support their efficacy, as opposed to retin-A made in a lab which has 30+ years of solid studies to back up its use.

Of course everybody is free to do with their skin what they want but the trend of shying away from synthetic skincare ingredients is not a great one.

Margot Elena has limited numbers of their seasonal boxes. They sell pretty fast each quarter. (Sometimes Liz has a sub deals for her Valentine/Galentine day like when she does Better Than Black Friday deals, but no guarantee this would be part of it.)

Yes, this box is very different from all those other boxes. I suggest you visit Margot Elena’s website and check out her products. It is definitely for those who love to try different fragrances and fragrant products.

I’ve been impressed by this box. It is the single box that I continue to get on an annual basis. (I dropped Causebox and Rachel Zoe. I moved FabFitFun and Popsugar to quarterly and decide as I go.) Of the two most recent boxes Margot Elena boxes, I loved the fall box, and I liked the winter box. I used all of the fall box. I gifted most of the winter box to coworkers, but that was because I had planned to do so; I would have used most if not all of those items myself if I had not planned them as gifts. (I should say, too, that this was the first time I EVER gifted something from a subscription box. The items are the ‘real’ items with no special indicators or markings on them, and it was so much nicer to be able to gift everyone in my office an item from a brand they can shop at Anthropologie versus the $5 BBW hand cream or $5 generic candle that the same amount of $ would have otherwise allowed). The items in the Margot Elena boxes truly feel ‘special’ to me (as does the presentation when it comes in the mail).

Now I am worried. This looks nice, but this mask is so far the highest retail value one in the theme of skin care or body care comparing to the previous boxes. Hope the other items in the box would be good pick also. Finger crossed.

The papaya and honeysuckle mask from the spring 2018 box is absolutely divine, I wanted to slather it all over me and just inhale the fragrance all day. I’m guilty of putting a little dab under my nose when I start my shower just to kick off the beginning of my shower ritual.
